The Kindle, a beloved companion for global travelers, seems ideal for language translation. Unfortunately, Google Translate, with its 50+ language translation powers, doesn't work on the Kindle. Enter the Kindlefish web app, which turns the Kindle into a near-universal language translater.

The Kindle browser, however, is notoriously slow and Kindlefish can also be susceptible to accuracy issues related to Google Translate and poor support for non-English input on the Kindle. The Kindle DX may also have a particular issue, although there's a workaround that the developer created just for DX users.

Those obstacles aside, if you travel a lot with your Kindle or ever wished you could use Google Translate from it, this web app is for you.
